Boot Camp for New Dads

Babies don't come with instructions, so the Orange County Health Department now has the free training every dad needs.

Boot Camp for New Dads is an educational program taught by fathers for new fathers. The FREE class is a three hour workshop covering not only baby care and fatherhood, but also the needs of new mothers.

During the first hour we will discuss topics such as

• Forming a New Family
• The Changing Role of Fathers
• Ensuring Your Baby's Safety
• Helping Mom with Breast feeding

The second hour is a hands-on opportunity for prospective dads to practice their baby care skills, such as changing a diaper, feeding, and burping, all under the guidance of veteran dads who bring their new babies to class.

The third hour is an interactive session featuring the best advice that veteran dads can offer new rookies.

Monthly classes are available. For more information or to register please call 407-254-6822.
